- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 Tries to break the shackles and loses his wicket in the process. You just know it was brewing. Reifer was struggling big time against Amir and he loses his patience. Back of a length and rises steeply in the channel, he went for the big shot and lost his shape while trying to larrup it downtown, taken at backward point by Walsh and his misery comes to an end. Amir with a fiery celebration, he earned that wicket and got reward for his disciplined bowling 14/19.2 Shimmies to the leg side and eyes up the stands over cover; gets plenty of height but doesn't clear the man at deep extra cover and grimaces after being caught in the deep. He was looking good and this was his opportunity to covert it into a big score and keep going but he gets out at the wrong time. Just needed more power in that smack. It's time for a strategic break. Errie silence in the ground after the wicket 48/37.6 Length ball on middle, he gets in two minds and plays a nothing shot in the end, ball gets big on him and he gets a fat top-edge that balloons up as short fine pouches it comfortably above his shoulder and Motie couldn't really provide the acceleration for which he was promoted 33/216.2 Around the wicket, on a length and scuds through the deck and wrecks the stumps! Hope lowered his center of gravity in a bid to slog that out of the park but was strangled by the slowness and ended up leaving a gap 85/510.2 Dishes out a full-toss outside off and gets a bonus wicket on a harmless delivery, sometimes these things happen in cricket you feel it's a duty to put the full-toss away and end up playing a false stroke, finds long-on and is livid with himself. Walsh can't contain his jubilation and knows it's a prized scalp; he was the match-winner last night and he is already gone! GAW in a tricky situation now 63/419.5 Good comeback after being thwacked for a six; short of a length, getting hint of away seam movement at a tight off-stump line, missed it, keeper threw at non-striker's end and Moeen has to go back to the hut but not before doing substantial damage; a very vital knock because GAW were going nowhere 134/717.5 Sticks to his guns and goes for another short ball around the line off, he goes for the hook and sends it soaring in the air but just not enough to clear the rope; well caught in the deep right under his eyes; Shepherd departs after a brief stay at the crease. GAW desperately needed him to stay out there and hit a barrage of sixes, not to be; can't repeat last night heroics 98/6Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL135/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Raymon Reifer, 4.3 ov), 2-33 (Gudakesh Motie, 7.6 ov), 3-48 (Azam Khan, 9.2 ov), 4-63 (Shimron Hetmyer, 10.2 ov), 5-85 (Shai Hope, 16.2 ov), 6-98 (Romario Shepherd, 17.5 ov), 7-134 (Moeen Ali, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Once again skips down the track and spoons it straight to mid-off! Don't understand what's the rush, it's not like they're chasing 180! It was a hard length delivery that was rising steeply off the deck and he was in no position to clear the fielder, laboured shot. Change of pace works 16/22.2 Oh my goodness! What a delivery, smart operator! Dragged shorter and got it to spin appreciably outside off and Greaves eyes lit up when he saw the short one, he was out of his crease and Azam Khan latches onto it in a jiffy, whipping off the bails in a flash as GAW draw first blood, excellent piece of bowling and glovework Motie is grinning 10/19.3 Strong appeal for lbw and given! Enthusiastic appeal and it looked plumb! Tahir is off and nobody can stop him! Runs all the way to the rope and regals the crowd with his fantastic celebration. It was pitched up and held it's line, was quick too and the damage was already done before the bat came jamming down. It's looking a familiar script to what we saw last night against Patriots. Falcons need a partnership. Decent contribution from James, still some batting to come 54/47.1 Miscues the skier! Over the wicket, faster legbreak on middle, rocks back, wrists turned on contact as he swivelled to hit it powerfully in the air, more elevation than distance, snaffled inches inside the rope by Motie at deep midwicket. That is a screamer; jumps just enough to pouch it and had the presence of mind to keep his feet inside the rope; it almost cleared the ropes. Tahir is ecstatic and his celebration lits up the crowd 41/314.2 Disturbs the furniture! Imad Wasim loses the plot and plunges his team into further trouble. Nagging length and it straightens a touch as Imad looks to break free and plays it down the wrong line, ending up making a big ugly mess of his stumps. Moeen is elated; continues along his merry way, picked it from where he left last night, in some serious bowling form and this track is a heaven for spinners; excellent slider 76/612.4 Faster and drags it short on middle, tries to ramp it away and Azam is convinced he nicked it but Moeen is like I don't know and they're going upstairs. Hang on a second; Hamilton is not even bothering with the decision on big screen and is walking off already because he knew he tickled it and now the ultra-edge confirms it, hits the glove and Azam was absolutely right; sharp take 71/518.2 Hangs onto it terrifically Fraction short on off, thumps it down the ground and finds Hetmyer at long-on who gobbles it up gleefully much to the delight of the raucous crowd that is rooting for Guyana - safe hands, skipper gone 107/914.5 Back of a length and turning to middle, stands deep and front on to flick but misses it and Azam appeals loudly for an lbw, Moeen follows him but in a subdued way. They want another look. Pitches outside and then comes back, hits the front pad - major turn - waiting for ball tracker. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting middle - three reds and that's the color code of danger - Fabian Allen goes and so does Falcons hope of winning this contest. GAW are too good at defending! 76/717.2 Stumps shattered, what a sight for the bowler and the crowd has gone crazy in the aisles. The off-stump goes flying and Shamar celebrates with arms aloft; such a timely strike to get the control back. Hard length ball that nibbles a touch and beats his cut. 101/818.5 Floated another teasing slower delivery on off, Amir makes room and thwacks a cut but is in no control and gets a leading edge as Moeen Ali takes a simple catch at backward point and the reigning champions peak at the right time and are looking formidable as we move to the business end of the tournament.
